  @WardoTWT I feel like the only company who could really do well with overwatch other than blizzard would be RIOT Games if they werent already busy with Valorant. They have their own issues but 2 for 2 the games they have come out with are very good.

  So, we had to have our youngest cat put down. Her name was D․Va (Yes spelt like the Overwatch character.) She was having liver problems and the cost of her treatment was too high to afford. I remember she use to watch me playing #ESO of which I'll never forget. She was 4.

  Pain is having your 2nd 3080 GPU Fail probably. Contacting customer service AGAIN. On Friday after switching from Snowrunner to my first Overwatch game, both my montors went black, yet I could hear my team chat. Today, I can't get stable 120 FPS :((((((((((( Pain :(

  @netso92 @danielzklein @RSPN_JayBiebs I cant comment anything for overwatch because I dont play it. I just know that the lifeline res is obviously a problem since season 5 and that it hasn't been addressed, it can be replaced with many other things and that is a fact

  @DespawnM @reapersbf @OWAnonymous_ Playing the game was never the issue here. My friend wanted to work on the overwatch team making their awesome cinematics. She didn't even want to work on the game itself, just the story behind it. It isn't a gaming thing, it's acareer path she's been dreaming about for years.

  why do i keep getting overwatch comp games where all the other players are bots? anyone else having this problem

  Beany (@BeeeanyOW) reported 16 minutes ago

  @TTriforce @caluuna @Soldier76bot Absolutely no problem :) The more people know, the better. You don't have to worry about playing Overwatch - just don't forget to not buy any lootboxes - skins come back every year. As for OWL tokens, I know a large portion goes to the teams but I'm still working out the details.

  @Micky19Cooney @kkffoo This mod is not an all-in-one fix, you may still experience errors that Nraas ErrorTrap or Overwatch might be able to fix. It's also necessary to cap the game's frame rate and update the Graphics Rules file.

  @CalebGamerOW That's why I'll keep including the Overwatch Team. We'd be blessed if the entire OW Team is a safe environment. Which I hope it is. Sadly, the lawsuit says the company as a whole has these issues.

  Davante Madden (@ThepopeXXVI) reported 24 minutes ago

  @WardoTWT It would have the same exact issues it has today Overwatch is literally the greatest FPS to exist the issue is it’s balance; new heros pushing older heros into obscurity/hitscans all shoot so fast there’s no point to playing projectile/lamp/brig respawn wouldn’t fix any of that

• 
  Rin (@Adri_Rin) reported 24 minutes ago

  @Respawn I am not someone who likes FPSs much, but you made such a heartfelt game in titanfall 2 that i'm amazed you refuse to support it more. We still have Overwatch plenty active to this day despite releasing in the same year, why can't TF2 get even a scrap of love and fix your servers

  @GPrime85 Turned my back on Blizzard after cataclysm since it got bad, came back for overwatch: the ru8ned it after a while, watched wc3 reforged crash&burn from afar, enjoying their downfall with glee, even since way before the current debacle

  Viollous (@viollous) reported 30 minutes ago

  @TracerOneClip Ever since Overwatch came out, I've played nothing but that game. Before, I religiously played BO3 zombies. I tend to get obsessed with things. But now that my lack of wifi and broken controllers are a nonstop issue, I cant play OW anymore. Also I have no time ): too busy

  Brave Scion of Uruk (@Phrancq) reported 31 minutes ago

  @ashleylynch I'm concerned that at least one executive has floated trying to release an anticipated game like Overwatch 2 early because they're so broken they think they can juat make this go away with positive publicity.

  CommonSoul (@Common_Soul2) reported 31 minutes ago

  I love Overwatch but honestly why do people always have a problem with all the hero's who came out after doom. I agree on doomfist but why the rest? They all seem to be countered easier than him. [Continues]

  That's probably the same problem Game Devs face when creating new Operators (R6) new champions (LoL) or new Heroes (Dota, Overwatch, etc). 😌

  If someone came to the past and told me that there would be a Pokemon game that would have the same problem as overwatch, I would've told them it was impossible.

  If you currently play Activision Blizzard games — Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, the Warcraft and Starcraft games, Overwatch, Hearthstone — take a moment to think about what it is you stand for before continuing to give them your money. Don't tolerate or fund abuse.

  @WarnTV My wii U had just broken and i saw tracer gameplay on anubis so i decided to get an Xbox and buy overwatch

  @MrKoalahxd Obviously but the ******* visuals just make my head hurt. I normally wouldn't have an issue with this, but it's just so common in Overwatch montages

• 
  redacted (@superdupercud) reported 44 minutes ago

  I am so ******* mad at Activision Blizzard and their ****** way of handling everything to do with the horrifying workplace culture they neglected to fix for years. It makes me feel ***** playing Overwatch and upsets me that now my favorite game is tainted by its developer

  Original Gamer Awe3 (@OGAwe3) reported 44 minutes ago

  @TaliesinEvitel If I hadn’t stopped playing wow a few years ago due to a broken computer I couldn’t afford to replace, I’d be done with it now. As it stand I will no longer spend money in Overwatch. Haven’t played that in months either. This is so disturbing. Men, yes men must do better.

• 
  RunningOnEmpty (@Runnin0nEmpty) reported 52 minutes ago

  @ZyoniK_ seems like more trouble than its worth honestly. its just how the game works. learn to play multiple characters. it took overwatch YEARS to add role queue. and now that it has role queue if you want to play the 'popular' role you have to wait 10 minutes longer to find a game.

  So yesterday I had a problem with overwatch and DBD. So I dont know what to stream I guess I could play COD if anyone wants to join me for that. I'll probably be playing zombies since its Easyer to stream if I get any problems again. So cya there I guess

  "Bruno, you play video games right?" *Desk has crash bandicoot, monster hunter, overwatch, and mega man figures* No I don't, why?

  Hey friends. If you currently play any games made by Activision Blizzard (Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone) and you continue giving the company money after hearing about the lawsuit brought against them, block me & get ******.

  tuxedo mask. (@SireDesog) reported 58 minutes ago

  @CalebGamerOW While it's important that these two speak out, unfortunately they can't represent the entire Overwatch Team. If there is only one, even. I heard there were issues on Blizzard's international staff as well, from EU. The lawsuit mention issues "across" and "throughout" the company.
